TWO BIS WINING BORDERS

CH Devon Lady Semper Fi

The nature of the blogosphere is that we make lots of errors. The reality of the matter is that we cover so much data in such an abbreviated time that errors are an accepted part of the business. Happily, we have such loyal and knowledgeable readers that our errors are brought to our attention quickly.

This morning we reported that the Border Terrier, CH Tyrolian Eight Belles At Meadowlake, was the only Border to win an all breed BIS this year. While we did check those stats in the usual places, the traditional sources are only current through 31 January. Had we searched our own archives we would have seen that we reported that the Border Terrier, CH Devon Lady Semper Fi posted back2back Bests in Hobb NM on February 6th & 7th.

We are delighted to be reminded that we have two BIS winning Border Terriers this year. And we thank all you who wrote to us to tell us so.
